Thanks for your response, Mr. Jensen. My blood comes in several forms, with my best ability to describe it: 1) A flake size in clear urine, 2) pale red blood that is diluted by urine, 3) pulp form of clot blood not being diluted by urine, and 4) dark red blood mixed with my urine that looks like the color of coke soda. And of course, there is always microscopic form that I could not see with my naked eyes except using a urine test strip. They come once then gone for days or couple weeks. However, it appears more often lately. When the hematuria first started in last October, a CT scan with and without contract was performed on my abdomen. Results were normal with the exception of a kidney stone at an un-obstructing location. Also, I have no pain in my back or side part of my body. So, the urologist concluded that the hematuria is not caused by kidney stone but concluded that the capillary bleeding could be caused by LDR brachy therapy. He also did a KUB and saw the kidney stone is small ~3mm. A six-month following up was recommended.

Thanks @prostatecancer123 for the detailed and technically impressive report on your experience with hematuria. I cannot imagine any helpful suggestions for you, other than these two: 1) a secondary opinion from a well known urologist and/or 2) applying to a comprehensive medical system such as at a state university medical college or an established nonacademic institution such as the Mayo Clinic. Your blood specimens seem to differ more than I find easy to comprehend. Could capillary bleeding (which I also had after a TURP procedure several years ago) cause so many types of blood to emerge?
